Murdoch owns WSJ and Faux, and he hates Trump!
Three Strikes Third Time This Campaign Season NBC/WSJ Caught Promoting Agenda Polls
Posted on February 17, 2016 by sundance
The team of NBC and Wall Street Journal (Rupert Murdoch owned) has struck again with their latest highly coordinated and heavily manufactured latest Agenda Poll. We have previously revealed NBC/WSJ prior two constructs HERE and HERE.
[AND now you know why we proactively do so.]
mark murray NBC Chief Pollster Propagandist, Mark Murray et al, is out with yet another ridiculous poll (exceptionally high Brian Williams as a verb factor). This time showing Donald Trump trailing Ted Cruz in an explosive new development. Oh my.
However, this time it appears Murray has learned to insert an exit strategy to avoid the egg-face/embarrassing-sunlight factor of prior exhibitions. In a not-so-subtle veiled attempt to save face, they have written an excuse directly in the heart of their own polled results.
It really is funny to read:
So, one poll post-Saturday debate can only reflect there may have been a pause as Republican voters take another look at Trump. This happened earlier this summer and he bounced back stronger. We will have to wait this time and see what voters decide. (link)
Yes, that little disclaimer is more than a little humorous when you know the backstory.
What they are referencing (trying to save face upon) is NBC own prior agenda polling last year hence the earlier this summer reference. When we called out pollster/promoter Mark Murray on the last one, he ran away for several weeks.
Remember, an agenda poll is not created to show a statistical snapshot of the presidential race. An agenda poll has nothing to do with the support. Agenda Polls are manufactured to create media talking points, to create media narratives.
Agenda polling is about setting out to make a story, to sell a specific narrative, by using polling as the means to justify the story you are selling. Nothing more, and nothing less.
In this NBC story, the Wall Street Journal, owned by Rupert Murdoch who is promoting Marco Rubio 24/7 in all his executive media decision-making, is merely trying to diminish candidate Donald Trump. They are trying to blunt momentum and block the inevitability factor, that is all. Period.
Then why did Trump get a segment on Fox & Friends each week for years? He was given the floor and talked about anyone and anything he wanted to.
